[QUOTE="1abRat, post: 1157943, member: 297123"] If your blood sugar is high 2 hrs after injecting it could be a few things...here's a couple of thoughts 1. Too many carbs for the amount of insulin you've injected - do you carb count and adjust your dose? Have you been on a DAFNE course? 2. The "wrong" kind of carbs - some types of carbohydrates will cause your blood sugar to spike more than others, white bread is a classic example. What are your work lunches usually comprised of? As for saying "this isn't about your diabetes" it seems quite obvious that it was in the forefront of their mind when they said it. This is outrageous of course but sadly not that unusual. I've had some issues in the past with work even though my illness was nothing to do with my diabetes - turned out it was endometriosis but the Drs suspected cancer at the time - unsurprisingly for a brief 6 month period I couldn't really concentrate at work and had more time off than my usual 1 or 2 days a year. Didn't help that I'd also had swine flu that year, definitely not a year I look back on fondly! [/QUOTE]
